The knight wearing the silver helmet only felt a huge impact at this moment.

He still remembered that three or four months ago, a young man carrying a mud sapling and wearing shoddy clothes came to Rose Manor alone, just like now, and asked to see Her Highness Philena.

The other party at that time was no different from those lowly lives in the slums. The only difference was that the other party's attitude was calm and there was no fear in his eyes.

He remembered clearly that after the other party presented the blue crystal grass, Princess Philena rewarded him with one hundred gold coins.

It seems that the other party later received an additional gift from His Highness and became a pioneer lord.
The key is not the pioneer lord, the key is what kind of pioneer lord is it, how can he have a level 15 mount in just three or four months?

Is it that easy to open up a territory in a dangerous wilderness? !
Moreover, the opponent's aura is definitely something that can only be possessed after going through countless bloody battles and controlling the fate of thousands of people!

That is exclusive to those in a higher position!

He had only seen it in a few powerful people.

No one in the younger generation has it.

Even the first heirs of those grand ducal families!
He couldn't imagine why the other party had changed so dramatically in just a few months? !

Perhaps he got this level 15 mount by chance?
I wanted to comfort myself, but it just didn't feel right.

Because his father, the Imperial Baron, is only level 15!
That's it, it has completely supported this family.

But now, the other party's mount is the same level as his father's. How fucked up is this? !
Even if I look for all the reasons, I can't convince myself to accept all this.

What made his emotions even more turbulent was that just last month, a cousin of his who had a life-and-death friendship with him and became a pioneer lord last year, brought him some sad news.

His territory was destroyed by a group of bloodthirsty werewolves, and he himself died in the chaos of the battle.

The contrast between the two gave him an inexplicable sense of trance as if their destinies were intertwined.

I couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

But in the end, he forced down the churning emotions in his heart, took a deep breath, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Sir Lear, please wait a moment. I will report it right away."

After saying this, he turned and left, entering the manor himself.

It’s just that I can’t describe the feeling on the road.

Soon, they arrived at a house that was not open to the public, and after informing the maid guarding the door, they were summoned.

Carefully walk through the door and enter the elegantly decorated house.

The walls are covered with colorful oil paintings with beautiful lines and simple and pure painting techniques. You can tell at first glance that they are the work of a master.

The furniture and decorations are all of the highest quality and exquisite, and no other similar items can be found anywhere else.

In the middle, on the candlestick of a ten-meter-long wooden table, the flame of the candle fluttered gently, and drops of wax tears slowly flowed down, making a sizzling sound from time to time.

There was a faint beauty in the room.

Seven or eight exquisite dishes were placed in front of the main seat, and a figure that made the outside world tremble was gently savoring the food.

Every move was pleasing to the eye, full of elegance and classicism, as if this dinner was a perfect demonstration of aristocratic etiquette.

When the knight in the silver helmet saw that figure, his eyes became hot, and he lowered his head in the most humble manner, holding his hand to his chest to salute.

"Good night, your highness."

The most famous genius wizard of the Griffin Empire, the eldest princess of Loran City, the stunningly beautiful flower of the North - Philena Loran, slowly put down the knife and fork in her hand.

The tone is neither fast nor slow, and clear and pleasant to the ears.

"Raikor, what's going on?"

The knight in the silver helmet said in a rather complicated tone.

"Your Highness, a pioneer lord wants to see you."

"Development Lord? A new batch of development lords received the supplies yesterday. What do you want from me?"

Ordinary trivial matters would never be reported to her, as Recker would intercept them.

The fact that the other party can come in person now is obviously abnormal.

"Your Highness, that lord is Lord Lear."

When he pronounced the other person's name, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his mouth.

There was some surprise and a hint of imperceptible joy in Philena's eyes.

His eyes subconsciously looked to the side, at an oak table carved with exquisite elven patterns.

A colorful bamboo dragonfly full of childlike fun sways gently in the breeze.

The unique appearance makes the whole space more lively.

Sir Lear has returned from the wilderness?

A handsome figure emerged in her mind, who was dressed in ordinary clothes and was weak, but he stood up straight, treated her as an equal, and even won her recognition and friendship.

His eyes softened a little.

"Bring him in."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Wait, Jasmine, you go too."

The knight in the silver helmet looked up at the maid beside him with some surprise in his eyes, and the bitter taste in his mouth became stronger.

In the three years since he was stationed at Rose Manor, this was the first time he saw His Highness letting his personal maid go to receive someone.

And the other party was not some extraordinary nobleman, but a pioneer lord who had been in the wilderness for only a few months. Thinking of his cousin who had a good relationship with him being buried in the wilderness, he felt a sense of sigh.

We are all human beings, how can there be such a big difference? !

Jasmine exchanged a glance with him, responded softly, and followed him.

After leaving the hall, this maid, who had a pretty face and elegant temperament, as good as any noble lady, had a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Raiker, it seems that Lord Lear has changed a lot."

She observed very carefully, and the changes in the other person's eyes could not escape her sight.

I seemed to be in a very low mood just now, and felt like a rabbit had died and the fox was grieving.

"Could it be that Lord Lear has escaped back?"

Thousands of kilometers of muddy swamps, deep in the wilderness, take nearly a month to travel back and forth.

It has only been more than three months since I left, and traveling back and forth takes up half of my time.

Apart from the failure of the development, she found it hard to think of anything that could have made the other party return so quickly.

Hearing this, Recker looked at the other party's curious eyes and was about to say something, but then closed his mouth.

A strange feeling arose in my heart.

Failed. Maybe you don’t know yet, but the opponent’s mount is already fucking level 15.

My father, the Imperial Baron, was only of this rank.

I hope this bastard fails!!

Jasmine couldn't help but sigh when she saw that the other person was in a strange mood.

I confirmed my thoughts in my heart.

The cousin who had a very close relationship with Recker died in the wilderness last month.

Also a pioneer lord.

Now seeing Lear returning in defeat, he must be saddened by the scene.

It’s a pity that even though His Highness valued it so much, he still couldn’t get the desired result.

Yes, if it were so easy to open up the wilderness, the success rate wouldn't be so low.

Moreover, the other party chose to develop in the deep wilderness thousands of kilometers away from Loran City!
Failure is normal, success is a rare thing.

After thinking about it, I decided to comfort my companion.

"Reker, you don't have to be sad. The pioneer lords are gambling with their lives. They should also think about their own fate. It is not shameful to sacrifice in the wilderness. This is the hero's destiny and honor." "Look at Lord Lear. Even though he received such a generous gift from His Highness, didn't he still fail? But this does not mean that the other party is incompetent. This is just a process over a period of time. It is not certain that he will not rise again in the future."

“Failure is not terrible. As long as you have an unyielding will, you will always be worthy of respect.”

Recker's expression became more and more strange, but he didn't say much and continued to lead the way.

Jasmine saw this and didn't ask any more questions, for fear of hurting Recker.

Silently followed him out of the manor.

But as soon as she passed through the gate, she caught sight of a figure with extraordinary bearing, dignity and grandeur.

He wore a blood-red crown, as if he was being crowned a king, and behind him, a cloak as black as the night was shining and fluttering, making him look even more heroic.

It is as majestic as a mountain, and it makes people's hearts sway when they look at it.

The young face was filled with an awe-inspiring majesty and solemnity, and his eyes were sparkling, making people look away unnaturally when they met his gaze.

Mr. Lear? ?
Didn’t he fail in his development? Why is he in such a state?
Jasmine was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Recker, and found that he was staring at him with wide eyes, with an expression on his face that showed that he was feeling the same way.

I didn't want to pay attention to this guy, and focused my attention back on the boy in front of me.

After carefully sensing it, I was shocked. The opponent's level, level 11? !

The last time I left, I seemed to be only level 7. It's only been a few months?
Promoted 5 levels in a row?
I am only one step away from catching up with her. Your Highness didn't even exaggerate like this at the beginning!!

As he was surprised, his eyes fell on the swamp giant deer king beside him.

The majestic figure, fierce aura, and deadly threat made her breathing rapid.

Level 15.

An incredible level popped up in my mind.

As a high-ranking knight with a rank of 12, even if she were to serve in the military, she could be the commander of a squadron of men.

Now, this stag that suddenly appeared has reached level 15, and it looks like just a mount?

The opponent's mount is 3 levels higher than hers? !

At level 15, you can serve as the commander of a certain legion in Luolan City! !
Now, the enemy is using a legion commander as a mount? !

He looked at Recker with a stiff look. At this level, why the hell are you so sad? !

Failure is called development failure? ! !
Could this be the conquest of the wilderness?

When Recker saw the stiffness in Jasmine's expression, he felt extremely happy in his heart.

Hahaha!
It turns out that I am not the only one who will be shocked, no one is exempt from it!!
Jasmine took a deep breath and forced herself to suppress the shock in her heart.

She had seen many high-level characters, but she never expected that a level 7 pioneer lord could get such an exaggerated improvement.

After regaining his composure, he walked forward with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Good night, Lord Lear."

"I didn't expect you to return to Loran City so soon."

"Your Highness is already waiting for you inside."

Lear was somewhat touched when he saw an acquaintance he hadn't seen for several months.

"Good night, Miss Jasmine, it's nice to see you again."

Feeling the sincerity in his words, Jasmine's eyes softened.

"Please follow me in, Your Highness. I think I have a lot to say to you."

Anyone who sees his changes will want to talk to him in detail.

Lear smiled.

"I brought gifts for His Highness, they are all in the carriage."

Jasmine waved her hand and looked to the side with some displeasure.

"Raiker, go drive the car!"

This damn guy actually pretended to be so in front of her and almost made her look bad.

snort!
Recker gave a bitter smile and didn't dare to refuse. He hurried forward, called the two of them together, and drove the car into the manor.

Following the spacious bluestone road, we arrived at the house that was not open to outsiders.

When Lear approached, he saw a beautiful figure standing quietly at the door waiting.

The moment it appeared, the whole world seemed to lose its light.

She alone shines.

The flower of the North——Fireina.

The other person was wearing a yellow dress embroidered with simple patterns, but it was extremely luxurious and elegant.

The long hair behind her head seems to be floating gently in the water, giving people an unspeakable sense of mystery.

His eyes are deep, as if the starry sky is flowing in them. Just one glance can make people obsessed with them.

His face seemed to be meticulously carved by a god, and even the most picky person could not find any flaws.

She stands here, the center of the whole world is here, and the starry sky is bright because of her.

Li Er stepped forward, looked at the face so close to him, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Long time no see, Her Highness Philena."

Just a few months seem like a lifetime ago.

Philena stared at the young man whose temperament had almost been completely transformed and gave her a sense of amazement, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Long time no see, my friend."

After saying hello, the deep blue eyes like gemstones looked him up and down, and then stayed for a moment on the swamp giant deer king on the side.

Finally, a strong interest appeared in his eyes.

It's not just me who's getting stronger, Lord Lear, you're not falling behind either.

Lear smiled happily.

He turned and gestured to the two carriages.

"Your Highness, this is a gift prepared for you. I hope you like it."

As he finished speaking, the cloak behind him emitted a mist and directly lifted the lid of the carriage.

Rose flowers were carefully fixed in the carriage, looking gorgeous and full of vitality.

The bright colors were extremely eye-catching under the illumination of the surrounding candles and the rising moonlight.

The flower carriage shows its most beautiful side to the outside world.

A breeze blew, and bursts of fragrance filled the air, and the whole air seemed to become sweet.

Philena's gem-like eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of her eyes curved into crescents, and she looked at Lear with an indescribable surprise.

“This is such an unexpected gift.”

"Sir Lear, I like it. I like it very much."

She had no interest in gems, treasures, or even rare treasures that seemed rare to outsiders.

Her birth gave her resources that outsiders could hardly imagine.

But the rose is her lifelong love.

She had never told anyone about her talent as the Lord of Roses.

No one understood it except his father.

But at this moment, she received the most satisfying gift in her life. Most of them were roses that she had never collected before!

It felt like a sharp arrow piercing my heart, numb, astringent and sour. (End of this chapter)
